The princess only wants to survive, and the cold-faced king of hell begs for mercy

At this moment, his attention was attracted by the basin of ice and the wet handkerchief placed beside him.

He nodded slightly in approval and said, "Your Highness's prompt action in applying water and ice to treat the injury was truly wise. This method effectively helps the injured area dissipate heat quickly and prevents further aggravation of the injury."

Then, he shifted his gaze back to Yun Shang's hands, examined them carefully for a moment, and said slowly, "Princess, don't worry too much. Your hands are fine."

"I have a special ointment here that's specifically designed to treat burns. Just apply it evenly to the affected area and continue applying ice. When the redness gradually fades, there won't be any problems anymore."

After Zhao Qiyan carefully applied the ointment to Yun Shang, he slowly raised his head and turned his gaze to Doctor Liang beside him. He said calmly, "Thank you, Doctor Liang. Please help check on Concubine Lin's condition."

At this time, the water stains on Lin Zhiyi's arms were dripping down her sleeves.

It turned out that the water had seeped in through her clothes. After all this tossing and turning, the water temperature was no longer as hot as it was at the beginning.

Despite this, her arms still inevitably turned red.

However, compared to Yun Shang who was directly scalded by hot water, Lin Zhiyi's injuries were obviously much milder.

After Liang Wenxin carefully examined Lin Zhiyi's wound, he quickly prescribed the same ointment as before and handed it to her. He bowed to everyone, indicating that he was ready to leave.

However, at this moment, Qinghuan and Zhao Ting, who had gone to choose tea cups, happened to return.

Behind them were more than a dozen fully armed guards.

The guards were grouped in twos, each holding a huge wooden box steadily in their hands.

As the guards filed in, Liang Wenxin's steps towards the door were instantly blocked.

He was squeezed into the corner behind the door by the guards carrying boxes. He could neither advance nor retreat, and was trapped there for a while, unable to move.

At this moment, both Zhao Qiyan and Yun Shang seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of Liang Wenxin, and no one asked him to leave.

Helplessly, Liang Wenxin had no choice but to stand silently in that narrow corner, watching everything happening in front of him, and was forced to stay and watch the fun.

When Lin Zhiyi saw so many boxes being carried over, she immediately became anxious. "Lin Zhiwei, you clearly said you only wanted me to pick out a pair of teacups as compensation, so why are you carrying all my dowry boxes over here now?"

Zhao Ting bowed and replied, "Your Highness, Princess, when I went to help Miss Qinghuan choose teacups, I noticed something amiss. So I asked Miss Qinghuan to open the Princess's dowry storehouse and take a look."

"I have checked the Princess's storehouse without her permission. Please forgive me, Princess."

Yun Shang waved her hand, "It's okay. Qing Huan must have her reasons for agreeing. This princess trusts Qing Huan."

The hand she moved happened to be the one that was burned. Zhao Qiyan grabbed her hand back with dissatisfaction, placed it in his palm, and continued to use a handkerchief wrapped in ice to give her a cold compress, "Be careful, don't move this hand."

"Oh."

Yun Shang belatedly put her hand down and continued to ask, "Guard Zhao, did you find anything wrong?"

Zhao Ting raised his hand and pointed his finger steadily at the row of boxes neatly arranged on the left.

He nodded slightly, and the guards behind him quickly stepped forward and opened the boxes one by one with quick movements.

In an instant, a stale smell hit me in the face.

Everyone looked closely and was stunned.

It turned out that some of the boxes contained only common fabrics. Not only were the textures ordinary, but the styles were also old and the colors were dull, as if they had been forgotten in the corner by time. What's more, many of the fabrics had outdated patterns and seemed incompatible with current fashion.

However, this is not the worst case scenario.

When their eyes turned to other boxes, people were even more surprised. There were some porcelain and jade pieces with slight flaws!

The surfaces of these objects either have tiny cracks or are missing a corner, and the poor quality is really unbearable to the eyes.

Zhao Ting reported to the prince and princess with a solemn expression, "Your Highness, Princess, these are the dowry boxes I found in your storeroom. Who could have imagined that they contained such inferior goods?"

"I also asked Miss Qinghuan to find the dowry list of the princess and compare it one by one. After comparing, I found that there was not a single box of dowry in the princess's warehouse that matched."

At this moment, Zhao Ting suddenly turned around and pointed to the row of boxes on the right again.

His eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see through the lid of the box to see the secret hidden inside.

The guards understood what he meant and immediately stepped forward to open all the boxes.

In an instant, a dazzling light flashed out, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that the box was filled with precious treasures, including various jewels and jade treasures, which were dazzling to the eyes.

There were several pairs of exquisite tea cups of high quality alone.

Some of them are carved from warm green jade with elegant and fresh color; others are made of crystal clear rose quartz, emitting a charming pink luster.

In addition, there are jade, agate, pearls...all kinds of materials are available, which is really beautiful and dazzling.

When the box containing the cloth was opened, there was not a single outdated material inside. There was not only precious Xiangyunsha, but also dozens of pieces of gold-woven satin.

Zhao Ting slowly pulled out a dowry list from his bosom and said, "This is the princess's dowry list. After careful comparison, I found that nothing in the princess's storeroom matches the list. However, everything in Concubine Lin's storeroom is exactly what is on the princess's dowry list."

"Moreover, according to etiquette, such a specification is clearly not what a concubine should have. Therefore, I suspect that Concubine Lin took advantage of the prince and princess being out of the palace and secretly replaced the princess's dowry boxes."

Yun Shang knew exactly what was in her dowry box!

At this moment, her dowry was placed side by side with another person's, and Zhao Ting was beside them, performing this wonderful show with her and Qinghuan.

So, Yun Shang naturally pretended to be shocked as if she had just found out what was hidden in the box.
